Hit the ground putting!

Hard to believe but we are a
mere 31 days away from the 2014
McGladrey Classic! In preparation for this year’s tournament (Oct. 20-26),
a small team headed to Sea Island earlier this week for Media Day to welcome
reporters to the island and to answer questions about McGladrey’s partnership
with the PGA TOUR, sponsorship of The McGladrey Classic, Team McGladrey and the
importance of stewardship – to both McGladrey and the game of golf. Since its
inception in 2010, The McGladrey Classic has raised nearly $2 million for local
and national charitable organizations.

A few McGladrey key
spokesperson’s were joined by last year’s McGladrey Classic winner Chris
Kirk, Team McGladrey Member and Tournament Host Davis
Love III and others who answered reporter questions before heading to a
putting contest to raise money for local charitable organizations. While many
organizations benefitted from the putting
contest, the big winners of the day were Ronald McDonald House ($2,500), Hope
House ($1,500) and Hospice Golden Isles ($1,000).

With Media Day behind us,
we’re now teed up for The McGladrey Classic next month (Oct. 20 – 26). You can
view the complete schedule of tournament events on The
McGladrey Classic website.

Team McGladrey Members are
taking a break this week as there are no PGA TOUR tournaments taking place.
Next week, Team
McGladrey Member Zach
Johnson will be in Scotland for the 2014 Ryder Cup. We can’t wait to
cheer on Team USA: Rickie Fowler | Jim Furyk | Zach Johnson | Matt Kuchar |
Phil Mickelson | Patrick Reed | Jordan Spieth | Jimmy Walker | Bubba Watson |
Keegan Bradley | Hunter Mahan | Webb Simpson. And more good news about Zach: Yesterday
(Sept. 17), we received confirmation that he’ll compete at this year’s McGladrey
Classic! We’re looking forward to sharing names of some of the other PGA TOUR
players who commit to join us at Sea Island. Who would you like to see there?

And speaking of The McGladrey
Classic, the tournament Sweepstakes closes Tues., Sept. 30. Visit thesweepstakes info page
to learn the details about how to enter. And if you’re feeling extra
lucky, be sure to “Guess the Birdies” for this year’s tournament. One lucky
contesetant in the Birdies Fore Love program will receive a brand new 2014
Buick Verano courtesy of our friends at Nalley Buick GMC! Check out the brief
Birdies Fore Love video to learn more about the program.
